Must say Skyrim is totally awesome. You can blame this + Dungeon Defenders for lack of progress on Abyeyance since my last post. However, I ain't gonna play either today.
I can't believe how much better it is over Oblivion and I loved Oblivion to pieces, though there were a few annoyances, such as the limited range of voice actors and how horrible people's faces looked. The gameplay is improved as well, I like the 'class' system on this one and find the favourites system to be useful, especially as I remember in Oblivion once I had a lot of spells it was a lot harder to navigate through lists and lists of them. Playing in 3rd person on Morrowind and Oblivion never really worked for me, but in Skyrim it works and as a result I don't use first person any more...well, it's easier to point the camera at an object you want to pick up in first person, but that's about it.
There's some challenge this time round, I have died a few times already. The dragon fights are easier than I was expecting. But I like the fights because they add something as your traverse the massive landscapes...plus you can earn a little gold and get more souls for your shouts.
So those were some improvements I liked and on top, it still feels like an Elder Scrolls game and it comes with that non-linear gameplay and the ability to explore to your heart's content.
Therefore, this game is totally amazing.
